50 Best Latin American Restaurants in Orlando

“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“

“Absolutely amazing service. Jojo was fantastic, as were our 2 waiters this evening. We sat outside, beautiful atmosphere. Food was excellent. 5+stars. We are lucky to be local, we will be back!“

“Nos gustó mucho, pedimos clvarios platos, lo único que nos encontramos poca cantidad es en los Chicharrones bites en comparación precio-porcion. pero muy rica la comida y buen servicio.“

“The food was excellent!! The service while friendly could be more efficient. It took forever to get a second glass of water. I ordered avocado and never received it but was charged for it. Didn’t realize it until I got home.“

“Chimi is truly a hidden treasure. During my trip to Orlando for my daughter's 18th birthday, a friend of mine residing in Orlando shared that this was his wife’s favorite place. When I relayed this information to my family, my wife suggested we check out this spot while we were in town. We ultimately chose the location nearest to our temporary accommodation, and I have to say, we were not disappointed in the slightest. It has a wonderfully cozy atmosphere and a pleasant environment. The waiter was incredibly friendly and asked numerous questions, clearly noticing we were unfamiliar with the place. He showcased a range of dishes, from the most favored to the highly recommended. We settled on the Churrasco with Mofongo and shrimp. I can honestly say that for the next 7 minutes as I enjoyed my meal, I felt like I was in paradise. My children opted for the Dominican burger, which was also fantastic. The chicken atop it was shredded and complimented by a dash of chimichurri sauce. Everything we had was excellent, so if you find yourself near Orlando indulging in the parks and are looking for authentic Dominican cuisine, I wholeheartedly endorse ChimiKing.“

“Well, I wanted to try the pollo Mario in Orlando. We try the chicken. It was very, very disappointing. No flavor at all. I do not recommend the chicken.. the chicharon was just ok. I don’t think I’ll be returning to the place. Now the Pollo Mario. And Woodside queens New York. Oh my God outstanding place if you’re ever in New York, please go to go to Mario in Woodside. Ny. Sorry, I tate this place 4 out of 10.“

“My wife and I visited the restaurant for dinner and we were not disappointed. It’s a small restaurant with great food! Beautiful presentation and very good atmosphere. Food was great. Very fresh ingredients and seasoned to perfection. Chef DOC was very attentive as well as his staff. Will definitely go back. Thanks JazTro crew!“

“I was recently in this place and I attended Laura Londono. Thank you Laura for such a professional and pleasant service. The restaurant from feeling proud to have someone like you. [Original] estuve hace poco en este lugar y me atendio Laura Londono .Gracias laura por tan profesional y agradable servicio .El restaurante dede sentirse orgulloso de tener alguien como tu .“

“I could make a meal out of the guacamole, queso, pico, and chips! The guacamole was chunky and fresh tasting. The queso was the best I've ever had, not too mild, very flavorful! I can't wait to go back and try something else!“

“Everything was amazing but I have to give a shout out to my waitress Yesenia and the kitchen staff Israel, Josuany and Hilda. We arrived an hr before the kitchen closed and they made our food to perfection. And I wanted to take a last minute order to go and they were so kind about it and made my meal though the kitchen was closed. They absolutely didn’t have to. It’s these small things that aren’t so small. You guys made my husbands birthday night amazing by going above and beyond and I’m grateful. ❤️ thank you!“

“Food of excellent quality and flavor. I ordered an empanada, the food was freshly made and fresh. I also ordered a chicha and the manager made sure everything was ready at the same time. They also brought my food to the table. Great service!!“

“Delicious food, nice atmosphere and great service!!“

“We’ve come for breakfast and dinner and they do not disappoint! Such amazing food and atmosphere. This is our new favorite spot.“

“Went there for Dinner got there early and was let in. Our server got our drinks and never returned. So many wait staff and the service is horrible. The drinks are over priced. This place is a scam. The best part of this place is the front door. They ruined our Valentine Day dinner. To late to go elsewhere. Drove three hours to visit this place. it's all scam. Gozamba is just Upscale ghetto!!! Shut it down!!!!!“

“THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN ORLANDO!“

“I am Korean. I stayed at a hotel next door and went there around 9 in the morning to make my choice. I probably made a mistake when ordering, but with a gesture, I ordered rice, beef, and chicken (soy sauce base).
I enjoyed a very generous meal for the Disney price.
The taste was also excellent.
If you want to eat, go~ haha ​​It’s good to eat with ramen~“

“Here's a rewritten review based on your input:"I had an incredible dining experience this morning! The food was absolutely delicious, with generous portions that left me feeling full and satisfied. But what really stood out was the presentation - it was truly incredible! The dish was beautifully plated, with vibrant colors and a visually appealing arrangement that made me almost hesitant to take a bite. Almost. The combination of flavor, quantity, and presentation made for a truly exceptional meal that I won't soon forget. Five stars and highly recommended!"“

“Awesome place! Great tasting food!!“

“recomiendo 10000% ...la comida y atención super buena. Muy limpio y organizado....Adicional quiero comentar algo muy importante estoy eternamente agradecida con la Sra que atiende la mayoría del tiempo, pienso que es la dueña pues este miércoles 16 de Febrero 2022 fui a comer allí y tuve un percance de Salud y ella lo dió todo hasta que llegó el servicio de emergencias....Creo que si no hubiese actuado tan rápido no estaría para contarlo....Agradecida de ayudar a mi madre en el proceso....No sabe como me siento pues no todos los comercios demuestran nobleza y usted sobrepasó eso......Muchas gracias, espero le llegue el mensaje Gracias Yoally Denise“

“Amazing food ! Authentic spanish food that taste flavorful with such a perfect taste of seasoning . I highly recommended to Co-workers and neighbors . Thank you Evefoodies , See you soon !“

“I enjoy dinner at CHIMIKING in Windermere, the music, the food, and staff were super nice. Highly recommended for small dinner parties.“

“I loved this place! Super friendly, attentive and the food uffff! I will return to continue trying other dishes on the menu. I ordered pupusas. One cheese with loroco and another mixed. GOOD! Oh, the atmosphere feels rich with good music. Thanks, The Brothers! ##It's a little hidden, but I understand that they will soon have a sign outside to make it easier to find the place.“

“Thus is the type of place you go to for the food not the ambiance. The food is made fresh every day and it is sooooo good. It taste like my grandmother made it herself. The service at times could be a little better but the food definitely makes ups for it. Highly recommend ?“

“Bombo is a hidden gem that ticks all the right boxes: superb customer service, huge serving sizes, a commitment to supporting local producers, and late weekend hours.From the friendly greeting you receive upon entering to the attentive service throughout your meal, the staff at Bombo will make you feel like a valued guest. And when your food arrives, you'll be blown away by the generous portions that are perfect for sharing or taking home as leftovers.What really sets Bombo apart, however, is their focus on using locally sourced ingredients. From fresh produce to expertly prepared meats, the menu features the best of what the area has to offer.And when you're craving a late-night bite on the weekend, Bombo is the perfect spot to satisfy your hunger. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you'll feel right at home at this fantastic restaurant.“

“Very nice place , great food ! Taste very authentic and the fish in the cebiche was super fresh as well of all ingredients. Flavor was amazing ! We surely coming back soon . Kathy was our waitress and she was amazing !!!! Great service !!“

“Great tasty food served by attentive staff . 100% 👍“

“Good food, the service is equally good, the prices are acceptable, I don't know why Colombian restaurants are always more expensive than the average restaurant, but what is not good is that they charge 18% and also put space for the tip It seems like a very bad practice to me.“

“To start.. walking into Corazón is like escaping into the most beautiful moody atmosphere that is INCREDIBLY romantic. Absolutely gorgeous. The service was IMPECCABLE. Joshua was the most attentive & kind server we could ask for. Accommodated everything we could ask for. Made excellent recommendations and was the perfect server for our Valentine’s Day dinner. Not to mention the food - it was AMAZING. I highly recommend the ravioli. 10/10 will return and if you’ve never been here before- DO IT!! & visit Joshua. He will take care of you!“

“The service was great and the food was amazing! The overall look of the venue was clean and well kept on the inside... Dining in was a medium sized space for a few families to be able to eat at the same time with tables and chairs but no booths.

Great place to eat with plenty of delicious options 🤤“

“Excellent!!! I had the Nutty Temptation Tacos which was full of great flavors and delighted each & every taste bud 😋. Hoping to see an Earthy Picks pop up in the Melbourne area in the near future 🤞🏻. Gluten free and vegan 🙌🏻💯♥️“

“I like this Restaurant since 2008! its just a little small but the food is delicious, every time I go there I order Pollo a la brasa for my son, and Ceviche for me of course, and we love it! I will always recommend this place 💯 Yummy😋“

“The Cubaan Kortrijk is the place to be in the week is perfect for professional meetings with Al the space also you can reserve for more comfort and privacy. In the weekend you have a dj who is playing from 22:30 till 04:00 in the morning, every weekend is an other concept. You can also follow cocktail workshops and dance workshops. 🍹🍸🥂🎼💃🏽🎉🥳“

“At the moment you step in that restaurant the personel give you an agreeable feeling. Very courteous hosts, it is a nice restaurant to hang out with friends or with your date. tasty cooking, professional chef, comfortable price and generous service. Highly recommended“

“Ate here for the first time this weekend and the food was amazing! Our waitress was very helpful and the food was fresh and delicious. Some of the best tortilla chips I’ve had (salsa trio) and the enchiladas were great! Great kids options as well!“

“We live far away but make it to this side of town at least once a month and this is our destination everytime! The food is delicious, the staff is friendly and the establishment is kept clean(bathrooms too). They have a great selection and so far everything I've had is great!“

“This was a hidden gem in Orlando. We walked in and the atheistic was beautiful. Our server, Rebecca was attentive, responsive, and knowledgeable. I was excited to have great service, since it's so hard to find. This by far was a great place. Good parking and seating. The drinks and hookah were good quality and fast service. Highly recommend! Go!“

“Tuvimos la oportunidad de comer hoy en este Restaurante, que delicia!!! Todo rico y un servicio de excelencia. Recomendado 100%“

“A lot of competition in the area, but this is my favorite spot because the food is always consistent. Not salty, not too spicy everything is made as if your grandmother made it. And the price very competitive. Five stars.

Dietary restrictions: I lost 30 pounds here. I just stuck to protein-based foods very minimum rice, avocado, and veggies and the price of my food. Every day hovered around eight dollars and.“

“This food is amazing. I have eaten here twice and yum 😋“

“Me and my girlfriend had a great experience today. Ms. Q, my waitress, provided outstanding service—attentive, friendly, and professional throughout. The general Manager Ms. Hanane went above and beyond, personally checking in multiple times and even grating fresh cheese onto my pasta, which added a thoughtful touch to the service. The host, Justin, was also excellent; he remembered my order in detail and communicated it seamlessly to the staff. After a less-than-satisfactory visit in the past, today's service truly exceeded my expectations. I appreciate the team’s commitment to delivering a GREAT dining experience!!! although the manager from the previous time walked passed me and greeted every customer after me I guess he’s still upset about the last time nonetheless I enjoyed dinner tonight !“
